I don't want to choose between restart and update or switch off and update. I want to SWITCH OFF. I will figure out the update when I have actual time to wait 3 hours while you "configure update" you fucking piece of shit OS. | ||

Are you allowed to pull the rope with your hands (on top of the rope being tied around your dick), or are you only allowed to pull with your penis and nothing else? Either way I'd suggest walking around with weights tied to your penis to improve its durability. If anyone asks about the suspicious bulge in your pants just tell them that it's your massive balls. | ||

Or? What is it that actually cooks the pasta? Is it the temperature + contact with water alone, i.e. what matters isn't if the water is actually boiling but the temperature? In which case it wouldn't matter whether I salt before or after it begins to boil. Or does the process of boiling in itself contribute to the cooking of the pasta? | ||

How do I train for this and gain an advantage during? 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and 10km running every single day. It goes without saying that you have to eat three meals a day. But in the morning, a banana should be enough. | ||

After, i don't know why but a (professionally trained) cook told me. Doesn't matter for the taste but you waste less energy or something like that. | ||

I don't think it would have a noticable effect on cooking times. I've always just added it for flavoring the noodles. | ||

Of course, it probably destroys some tasty things or others, but for some meals it is fine to do it this way. | ||

If you actually taste a difference, you must have tasteless pastas and sauce, or use a full bowl of salt. | ||

If you actually taste a difference, you must have tasteless pastas and sauce, or use a full bowl of salt. erm you can definitely taste whether the pasta has boiled in salted water or not. There's no question about it. That said, the 'rule' is basically 10 grams of salt per 100 grams of pasta (which boils in 1 liter of water), so yes, quite a lot of salt. My impression is also that the 'proper italian' way of eating pasta doesn't quite drench it in sauce, so you can actually taste some of the pasta on its own. | ||
